Dang that little brown goat is cute!

So over the past three days I have taken the same route to town and have passed by a field of goats, ahhh that would be 6 times!  I love, love, love slowing down to see the latest antics of the herd.  There are soooo many goat personalities in that field!  Well anyway, these last 3 days I've noticed an Itty Bitty Baby Goat (IBBG) at the fence, near the road that I motor down.  He is so stinkin' (more about that later) cute!  Every time I've driven by lately, he is straining to stick his neck out through the fence to eat the grass and clover flowers beyond.  I figure he is either an 'outta the box'...errrr 'outta the field' kinda thinker and going after the good stuff, or sadly, at his young age, is already bored with the run of the mill, fresh field fare, inside the fence that all the other common goats are eating. Either way, that IBBG is soooo stinkin' cute. 

Oh yeah, about that....I had been enjoying this bevy of goat personalities for quite sometime, to the point where I had told my husband; "One day we are just going to have to get our own goats, so I can watch them any time of the day".  This just seemed to make so much more sense then the 'drive-by goat watching' I'd been in the habit of doing.  And then something happened that firmly changed my mind on goat ownership....I drove by one warm and beautiful summer day with the windows of my car rolled down.  I was all happy and anticipating what goat personalities I might see on display today and WHOA!!  the stench of those cute goatlings hit my nostrils!  All my gleeful anticipation went out the window as the stench came rushing in!  Immediately those little IBBG's didn't look as cutely with the stench emanating from that field!  But then of course the solution followed some quick rationalization to preserve my goatly glee; Just keep them windows rolled in the upward position to keep the fumes at bay, so that the joy of my goatly gandering may continue to be enjoyed!! 

Dang those IBBG's sure are cute!
